I guess if you were to start a DNP school from scratch and have it be merited upon a clinical designation with completion, you're going to need to have a baseline tool(s) that will quantify the value of hands-on clinical to enable meaningful mass rep...

But there is not a residency within the DNP education. This lack of formal, goal-oriented residency-based-mentorship is the basis for my DNP project, and there is a glaring gap in this respect. Now the medical model is looking at moving beyon...

Whenever I see a reference to Doctoral degrees in nursing not adding anything to the clinical sphere, I always wonder about why we don't marry learning the tools of clinical inquiry to 'clinically relevant training'. We are not trained as Physicians...

Years and years of Critical Care/Trauma ICU experience, then PACU phase I/II for many years and was tenure track faculty for a nursing program. What level of nursing do you wish to teach? If you want to teach at the university level, you'll w...

I am at a slow burn after getting to this point. One poster said it best: Do the Physicians take turns working as MA's? They're certainly capable enough, I would hope. FIRST – what I would do would be to secure written documentation that you are ...

Are the majority of DNP programs poorly organized though?

I would have to say that the majority of patients KNOW what a nurse practitioner is because we have used the title for many years. The longer we drag our feet with permissive ignorance of the title "Dr." for DNP/NP's, the longer the ignorance contin...

Hello, I’ve spent several months looking through different websites, looking in the Nebraska Health and Human Services website for Nurse Practitioner, looking through current practice standards in the state, and I cannot find anything definitive on w...

What an awesome idea verene. I am very willing to travel to a remote outpost if necessary to get the experience. I will approach the guidance professor at my college. Also, no, there isn’t a specific “rural health” track available. thank you! ...

Thank you, Nebraska is in the process of addressing this issue https://www.unmc.edu/news.cfm?match=20859 however, this program is only open for current UNMC NP students ? Keeping fingers crossed that something will be available for graduates of FNP...

Thank you kindly for responding to my question with the suggestions. I thought I would update you on this link: https://cchealth.org/residency/ which refers to primary care for rural medicine, as it is only for Medical School graduates, and is not o...

I am full time faculty in a nursing program, as well as working on the side at my ICU per-diem job to keep my skills current. I think it is absolutely fascinating that someone would require verbal/demonstrated praise on an expected basis in order to ...

Write yourself a wonderful reference, with a statement about how you have worked in "X" capacity over the years. Take it to each manager and ask them to sign it, or tweak it and give it back to you. You can use that as a reference at your next job.

I CLEP'd my Sociology, and tested out of Public Speaking via Dantes. I also took an accelerated three-week Developmental Psychology class. I am not aware of many higher education universities that easily accept online "ologies" classes, including C...

I worked two jobs for a total of 44 hours per week as a floor nurse while obtaining my clinical MSN degree. I'm now full time faculty, and think that it would be similar to be part time faculty with a full time job and obtain a MSN degree versus the...

Does the Chancellors office know about this? What does your State Board of Registered Nursing list as minimal qualifications to teach? Is this Instructor the instructor - of - record” with the BRN? Does this particular college do co-teaching” o...

[emoji768]Nurse means just that; Registered Nurse.

I was an LPN for 15 years before I became an ADN RN. Not one single place, to this day, ever gave me credit for that 15 years experience. I really wanted to work ICU. I was burned out on M/S, however, I was seen as not having had any prior experienc...

I have a MSN/CNL. I have had decades of experience as a RN. In my experience, the CNL is very versatile. I was able to articulate my CNL degree into a full time nursing faculty position at a college for RN students, and the ink had barely dried on ...

My facility utilizes bedside report in a uniform manner throughout each floor, including Mother Baby. The purpose of bedside report for our hospital is to introduce the patient to the oncoming nurse, and to discuss pertinent information, as appropri...

Valium and Ativan were not counted in the drug count Glass IV bottles were the norm. Reyes Syndrome was new. You actually had time to feed a patient. Heat lamps were used on decubs Treatment and med pass 1"X1" cards were color coded per shift so ...

Confession: Sometimes I put ice in my wine. Will I still be allowed over for a drink too?

MunoRN, I agree. This is the stumbling block that those without an understanding of how a research project is conducted, have difficulty wrapping their heads around: - - - What exactly, Wakefield did wrong. Unless you have a background in research,...

LOLOLOLOLOLOLOLOL!!!!!! What do you think goes on in the "C" Suite?! This describes a typical day for a CEO, CFO, etc. At least the unit secretaries are on MY side.
